Nguyen Picks Off Hobold
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Three-handed on a board of J?Q?2?4?, Dalton Hobold bet 6,500 from the big blind and Loc Nguyen called in the cutoff. Another opponent in the small blind folded as Hobold and Nguyen went heads-up to the river.
The dealer turned over the 3? and Hobold now fired out 18,500. Nguyen took his time before calling as Hobold showed A?9? for a bluff. Nguyen had K?J? for a pair of jacks to win the big pot.
Juan Endara, who doubled up in a massive pot against Hobold in the last level, has steadily increased his stack since, while Jon Cohen, sitting with his dog, is also at this table.
